Courtney Love Reveals The Unpublished Lyrics Of Song Smells Like Teen Spirit

JAKARTA - Courtney Love shared some unpublished lyrics written by Kurt Cobain for Nirvana's biggest hit, Smells Like Teen Spirit.

The Vocalist of The Hole took part in Rob Harvilla's 60 Songs That Explain The 90s podcast when he shared anecdotes about his relationship with Kurt Cobain, and some of the lyrics written by the singer for Nirvana's most famous song.

The episode in question is Harvilla's first episode, after being sidelined for three months. Taking part as a guest for the episode, Love explains how he became a podcast fan, and provides fans with insight into the process of writing Nirvana's frontman.

Along with a lot of anecdotes - including how Cobain wrote the song 1993 Dub in just 20 minutes when the couple was in Amsterdam - Love also shared some of its unpublished lyrical ideas, originally written for what will soon be Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Some of them are in this journal, and some of them are not published, he explained, while reading some lyrics. Come out and play / make up the rules / I know I hope / to buy the truth / who will be the king and queen / of all the issued teans before the chorus kicks in: We're so lazy / and so stupid / blame our parents / and the cupids / a deposit, for a bottle / stick it inside / no role model. "

He then read out the second draft of the lyrics: We merge ahead this special day / this day giving amnesty to surprise / A denial / and from strangeers / a revival / and from difficulties / here we are now / we are so famous / here we are now / enter us.

Here, the host noted how only about five of these original rows managed to make it the final version of the song - which is the main single of their 1991 album Nevermind.

Confirming that the official version of the song is a "different song" to him from what is seen in the demo lyrics, Love added: "The only consistency that is maintained is: 'load up on guns and bring your friends', and little group has always been and always will until the end, that's all."

He also explained that he hoped he would maintain the line of lyrics: 'Who will be the king and queen/of all the outcasted teans', stating that it will "help my life a little better, take the dirt I and my daughter have,' potentially alluding to the criticism he received after Cobain's death in 1994.
